Jeremy is an Ambassador for LIVESTRONG and was part of a team that raised $1m in 2010 by running the New York Marathon. In 2012, Jeremy was invited to attend the prestigious ROI Summit hosted by the Charles & Lynn Schusterman Foundation as a forum for a select group of social entrepreneurs and change agents from around the world. At the Summit he was introduced to TwistOut Cancer Founder Jenna Benn and was inspired when she did 'The Twist' in front of 300 people after giving a tear jerking speech about her life journey. Balkin and Benn became friends at the Summit and since that time have been strategizing a range of ideas to raise the international profile of TwistOut Cancer. "Jenna Benn is one of life's rare people. Meet her and you leave feeling like you're a better person." - Jeremy Balkin Jeremy Balkin is a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum in the Banking and Capital Markets Group and holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of New South Wales, Masters in Applied Finance from the Financial Services Institute of Australasia and a completed the Leadership and Public Policy for the 21st Century Course at the John F.
